London Gatwick Airport confirm daily flight limit will continue for two more weeks due to ‘staffing challenges’

Gatwick imposed an initial cap of 800 flights a day starting with immediate effect from September 25 until October 1.

The initial decision was made alongside NATS, who run the London Gatwick air traffic control tower. The daily cap was designed to prevent last-minute cancellations and delays for passengers while NATS work through challenges driven by sickness and staffing constraints.
